Spring ride along the trail. Trail is asphalt paved and follows the Allegheny River. As is every Spring, water levels very high. Enjoyable ride as always.
Rode this trail on an early April evening. Beautiful, well-maintained trail was a pleasant surprise to find on my weekend away. The memorial to Ms. Nellis was lovely and touching.
Warmer weather has melted the snow. Mostly clear, with plenty of small tree detritus. Watch for 3 short stints (just a few yards each) of gravel at the north end. As usual, a bit of moss and plenty of root ridges - speed bumps ¿. Happy Trails.
We parked at the end of Astral road, though not a designated trailhead, there is a small parking lot for fisherman. This is approx 4.3 miles South of Franklin. A good bit of snow and ice still on the trail. Big ice chunks floating down the Allegheny (River). Sandy Creek jammed up with ice at the Belmar Bridge.
February, 2026 we parked at the Belmar Bridge and went on a short walk. The parking lot at Belmar was somewhat plowed but luckily we had 4-WD otherwise I feel we would have been beached. Trail has very deep at least a foot of snow on it. Good conditions for snowshoeing. Surprisingly the Allegheny River was not frozen even though temps hadn't been above freezing for nearly 3 weeks. A nice walk out on the bridge.
Nice trail offering a connection from Oil Creek State Park into Titusville. Goes along Oil Creek on one side and sporting events fields on the other side. In Titusville you will find many amenities including places to eat, breweries, small shops in town, and a hotel.
Enjoyable Fall foliage bike ride through the park. Started in Petroleum Centre and pedaled up to Jersey Bridge. From there we connected to the Queen City Trail and also visited Drake Well, the site of the first oil well in 1859. This trail is paved in very good condition with a few rough spots. Follows Oil Creek, water levels very low and some areas of the creek are just all rocks. Park office is closed weekends (it's off season) but there are composting restrooms across the road. Up at the Jersey Bridge end is a plastic restroom, seasonal.
Friendly folks walking the trail. Nice they had a few porta johns along the way.
Rode out 11 miles from Emporium toward St. Mary's (~22 miles RT). Beautiful scenery once you get out town. Several interpretive signs explaining the environment and history of the area. The trail is surface is mostly packed crush stone and is well maintained. Would definitely do this one again.
I started in Ford City and rode all the way up to the Brady Tunnel.The tunnel has overhead lights but I would bring a headlight just in case. Pack drinks and snacks because there is nothing else till you get to Bradys Bend if you go that far .Make sure you have a spare inner tube just in case. The trail is very well maintained some paved sections in Kittanning have a lot of tree roots sticking up…. The Bike Lab in Kittanning 724 -919-0308 is a newer bicycle shop in town .There is a Foxes Pizza right along the trail in town plus a Dunkin Donuts.
Parked in Emlenton, 27 miles South of Franklin and headed North to just North of the Kennerdell Tunnel approx 13 miles South of Franklin. This section has two lengthy tunnels, need a light. Very well shaded with views of the Allegheny River. The trade off is that this section is super bumpy with uplifted asphalt pavement due to tree roots. You'll ride along and then all of a sudden hit a series of roots which catch you off guard as they are not marked and difficult to see. Some stretches it's uplifted asphalt one after another. We usually ride this section once per year and since last year it's gotten progressively worse. Other than the washboard areas, this is a good trail. Once a year is enough.
